Library
NewsWow! What a great day the Yard Sale turned out to be. All
the hard work preparing was worth it. Thanks to the many volunteers,
it was a success. The work crew from NICI spent all day Friday setting
up the tables, taking the books upstairs and then arranging them in various
categories to make a great looking display. When that was completed,
Carol from city hall had them wash outside windows and stairs of the community
building. They then worked in the library helping with
various jobs including more window washing. They were back on
Saturday after the sale to load the remaining books up and take
them to recycling. Our only pay back is food. We enjoy
feeding the guys when they are here and they do a good job
of consuming anything we prepare. Breaks are also a treat for them.
It is so rewarding to see them enjoy what we take for granted on a daily
basis. Great job guys, we couldn't have done it without you. We
were delightfully surprised last winter when we received a beautiful
Denham quilt with artistic scenery painted on it that was made by a
group and donated to the library for our annual fund raiser in the
fall. Another area that has been a great help has been the repair
of some very well used books that could not be replaced. These are restored to nearly
new condition when we receive them back. Thanks Emmett and crew.
All of us at the Library are very appreciative of the continued support
and cooperation we have receive from the staff and crew at NICI and look
forward to working with you in the future.
